We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your support and cooperation to YK Akros Group's business activities.

　Since the Covid-19 pandemic that has shocked the world in the last few years is being gradually settled and Japanese government has downgraded the Covid-19 to a common infectious disease, it is expected that future economic activities will be revitalized in our country.

　The geopolitical risks, however, show a more urgent aspect.
Considering protracted conflict between Russia and Ukraine, growing tension between the United States and China, Taiwan Strait issue, chaotic situation in the Middle East and repeated missile launches from North Korea, it is all the more important to be aware of the global situation surrounding Japanese companies.

　Although consumer sentiment is gradually picking up, economic outlook remains uncertain in Japanese domestic market because of rising prices due to exchange rate fluctuations and soaring prices of raw materials and fuel.

　Under this environment, in addition to our 21 domestic bases, our group also has offices in Mainland China (Shanghai, Shenzhen), Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and India). In 2023, we are going to establish a representative office in Istanbul, Turkey.

　We will continue to expand our domestic and international sales networks, and aim to create a group which is able to utilize innovative ideas and expertise to meet various requests from our clients and to seize new business opportunities.
We are deeply grateful to your support and continue to welcome your long-lasting advices.
